Hate Song - The Haunted

It's a Cort B4 Plus AS RM bass. Tested with multiple different pedals and amps, it repeats the same issue with all of them.

On 'Electric Man' I played both my Squier Classic Vibe bass VI and Gibson Les Paul Standard, using a dunlop 1.3mm prime tone pick. The Bass VI was recorded into logic plugged straight into my focusrite interface, and I played the Les Paul using a tasty Fender Princeton model on my Fender Mustang GTX100 amp which was recorded via the GTX100's built-in USB interface. Logic's Scientific Method + kit was used for the drums. Logic's ES2 and RetroSyn, synths combined to make the pad sound using the cosmic departure and aurora borealis patches. Logic's Q sampler was used for the Lo-Fi Acid arpeggio.

People who have two first names, eg Benjamin Sebastian. That gets really confusing when you read their names in a surname first list and then ring them up and call them by their surnames.

Is it a Himmernezz? No it's a Yamaha.

RAY CHARLES on what does it take to be a good Blues singer : Oh, well, that’s a great question, because you know, you can’t just say any one particular thing. First of all, let’s be honest about it, it’s important that one have a little talent, I mean, that, that would help, let’s face it. But I think that to have to be any kind of singer I think you have to have feeling there, and feeling cannot be taught. You can teach a person notes, you know, just like in music, you know, you can teach a person to play the piano, play an instrument or you can teach a person… they can go to voice school and you can teach him how to sing. But the one thing you can’t teach is you can’t teach feeling, you see and that is the key I think to any kind of singing… can the person, and what feeling is to make that they’re saying so real that you believe whatever they’re singing about must have happened to them because they’ve got so much feeling in their voice. The same as an actress who plays a part on the screen is so real you forget that’s it’s just a play, but you become so involved… to me that’s what feeling is all about, is to make yourself, whatever you’re singing about believable and of course I don’t think you can teach that. I think the person either has to have it or they don’t have it.

Please include the whole system: bass, fx, amp.

Yes, still available.

I recently bought a 425x. I like it very much. I enjoy playing it and I enjoy the sound. Whilst I was trying to track one down I occasionally came across a 1025x for sale (and even a 2025x) and pondered over the price difference. Sure I Googled the videos - as you do - watched the reviews and read up on the specs too, but wondered if any members out there have actually played (or even own) both the 425x and also the 1025x. I'm curious because I've considered whether it's worth buying a 1025x but of course only if the upgrades on the 1025x are really superior to the 425x so justify the hike in price? Please not interested in the material or manufacturing upgrades - only the sound (i.e. is the 1025x more powerful, more versatile, better quality, etc) My apologies if someone else has asked this question before so the topic has already been covered?🤔 Many thanks

I've just bought a new Cort GB Modern 4, which is probably the best bass I've played and I love it. I have this cheap wireless system https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07QJYL6VH?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1 which worked fine with my Cort B4 Element, but doesn't work at all with the new GB4 Modern. They both have active pickups, albeit MK1 Barts on the Element but Nordy Big Singles on the GB4, but I'm wondering if this might be the issue. As anyone experienced any similar issues, and if so is there a fix? TIA

So it was all going so swimmingly, I’d done the black grain filler and sanded back, the first coat of oil was on and it looked like this I left it hanging to dry……I popped back after doing something else to check for bleed back and the drop top had liftedand slightly separated from the neck pocket along the joint to the bridge pickup, just slightly. I had the heater on in the garage and I think this has caused the wood to move. To say there was some expletives is somewhat of an understatement! I have put some titebond into the lifted bits and clamped back down again. I will see what it is like tomorrow and then make a decision as to what to do next. Hopefully it will has reattached and I can just sand back etc. if not I am going to router out the joint and put a black resin channel in. This bass making malarkey is full of trials and tribulations but a valuable lesson learned.
